Bug Description

Hello. I'm a n00b - so I will apologize in advance for any indiscretions. I'm just trying to help! ;)

I am running AWN 0.2.1 on Ubuntu 7.10 with compiz enabled. I have an nvidia geforce 5200 card driving 2 monitors with thr restricted drivers. When I have a full screen application (like a seamless mode VirtualBox session) and use AWN to switch to that application (on the other side of the desktop [and cube]) the window ends up on the opposite monitor.

So if I have XP in a seamless VB on the right monitor, rotate away, and then use AWN to switch back, the XP full screen is now on the left monitor. The full screen window stays in its original location by any other means (that I have) to switch to it (Expo, Application Switcher, rotating the cube).

I hope this is a new report, and that the information has been useful. Please contact me if you need any further info.

Regards,
Matt S.

When you use Awn to switch to another application on another workspace, do you use the task manager (with the "show all windows in all desktops" option turned on), or do you use one of the switcher applets (switcher, blingswitcher, or shinyswitcher)?

Hello!

I am uncertain of your question. The only applet running on the AWN bar is
the 'Launcher/Taskmanger'. I click the corresponding icon on the AWN bar to
select and switch to the application. Doing this replicates (for me) the
problem.

If I switch to the application using the built in application switching
within compiz (ALT-TAB, cube rotation via the mouse or keyboard, or
workspace selection) the reported issue cannot (for me) be replicated.

I do not know if I have answered your question or not. Please let me know.

Regards,
Matt S.

I've got the same problem as Matt. For switching to another application I use AWN with the option "show windows from all viewports" enabled.
